The play is based around Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ben Kritzer who finds himself hauled in front of a Supreme Court Special Prosecutor. Joe Sutton’s past work includes Voir Dire (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and the Best Play Award of the American Theatre Critics Association), As It Is in Heaven, The Benefits of Doubt and Black Market.
